The weather is so weird that it’s hard to predict, but the rain has been pouring down for hours, spreading and feeding the earth.

There will be no more noisy words from men of letters in the desolate surroundings.

"A good rain knows the season." Even Qi Mo Yan, who is famous for his chess skills and is revered as a god, has injected all the Confucian self-cultivation techniques into chess, and has his own Confucian style. At this moment, he doesn't want to chant at all. I don't even have the mood to write a good poem, I can only complain about the annoying weather.

Especially after the rain suddenly stopped, the already damp robe became even more clingy. It didn't feel comfortable when it stuck to my body, so the slander naturally turned into curses.

This was precisely the moment when the Fourteenth Prince Wang Jiang issued the order to attack. Watching the ten Qianniu Guards cooperate with each other and start to charge in five or five, attracting enemy attacks from the front, and in the gap between the arrows after the first round of arrows, the five from behind rush forward, and in this way, the second round The crossbow arrows were already approaching and successfully cracked the rather troublesome foot-operated crossbow.

Although Wang Jiang said that this homemade repeating crossbow was very inferior, its strength should not be underestimated.

At this time, Wang He, the youngest princess of the dynasty who had Qi Mo Yan's cheeky demeanor, irresponsibly fell asleep on the pretext of taking care of the late night. If it weren't for the slight snoring, he would have been guarding the Jian Yi Army. The black hammer warrior outside the tent really thought that his little princess who came to eat and opened her mouth and stretched out her hands was so considerate.

The soldiers who were in charge of guarding outside the military tent found a thick cloak and respectfully draped it on Princess He. Although the Qianniu Guards are usually very carefree, they are also subordinate to the Palace Guards and protect the safety of the palace. It is natural to take care of these uneasy masters.

I think I was tired from traveling all the way over mountains and rivers in the past few days. After all, I had to be on guard against being discovered by my brother. I was so cautious that I was cautious about my words and actions. Today, I have completely relaxed my vigilance. I no longer have too many worries and tensions. As soon as her nerves relaxed, she felt tired instantly, especially when there was such a person lying in front of her. It would be contagious even if she wanted to sleep. The youngest princess in the dynasty just held her chin and watched the three o'clock in the night breathing evenly. Panting, his head tilted, and he fell into a sound sleep regardless of it.

Wang Jiang, who was closely watching Qian Niuwei's charge, was angry and amused when he heard his sister snoring slightly. He signaled Qi Mo Yan to wait a moment, and got a soldier in exchange for a cloak to keep out the cold. He really treated his family like a father and a mother. This little girl takes great care of me.

It was hard to accept that when Wang Jiang was commanding and dispatching just now, his vigorous and resolute behavior, which was cultivated by the army, was so gentle and gentle at this time. The look on Qi Moyan's face could already be described as incredible.

Especially the battle ahead was very nerve-wracking. This loyal general who was born as a prince was strolling around as if he was not involved in the situation at all, which was the most incredible thing.

But the moment the fourteenth prince left, Qi Moyan, who was about to say something sarcastic to him for being so relaxed, suddenly felt a warmth that he had never experienced before, wrapping around his body, and the irritability in his heart for the past few days was wiped out. Driven out of the body.

He suddenly turned his head and looked into the tent without any warning. He could only think of it as the third watch of the night - that is, he could only think of it as the mystery that he could only understand about the third watch of the night.

Although Qi Moyan was very puzzled by the change. Wang Jiang, who was walking in front and focused on the battlefield, did not notice the strangeness of this moment.

Qi was flowing around him, and Qi Moyan, who didn't understand what such a change meant, shook his head and regarded the slight discomfort caused by the change in weather as a temporary daze.

He glanced at Princess Wang He who was sleeping soundly in the simple military tent and at midnight who seemed to him to be sleeping. Qi Moyan shook his head again, as if he had been soaked in the spring rain that had just been pouring. The generally confused head strode away after Wang Jiang.

Only Qin Sheng and Zhou Tong were left. These two were supposed to be the backup arranged by Wang Jiang, the biggest official at the moment. They were both vigilant with their swords, one hanging the sword, the other carrying the sword, a waist sword widely equipped by the local military of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A Miao knife that only exists in the hands of the palace guards, one on the left and one on the right resembles the door god.

But at the next moment, they all looked at the two princesses and young masters in the tent who were obviously unable to perceive changes in the outside world.

Obviously, the discipline of the local garrison was worse than that of the Qianniu Guards. From this, it can be seen that Zhou Tong just turned his head and returned to normal, always ready. On the contrary, Qin Sheng raised his hand and made a caressing movement out of thin air. Tossing and turning, I could clearly feel an invisible air flow passing by, as if it were real.

But I am very sure that this is definitely not the wind, just these few breaths, the air flow fluctuates like ripples in the lake, layer by layer without stagnation, the tender grass that has just emerged on the ground does not move, and the old willows are hung with green buds. He didn't move, but the feeling of wind blowing on his face was real, as warm as the wind in summer.

"Don't you feel it?" Qin Sheng's incoherent sentence made Zhou Tong even more stunned. This palace guard who had served in the army for ten years as a soldier in the Western Regions just glanced at him and was said to be a thief by his own young general.

Captain Zhe Chong, who had "never fought in a war", was very strange. Seeing the other party's expression, Qin Sheng thought it was because he didn't notice the strangeness here, so he stretched out his hand to feel the sudden warm air flow. Although he didn't notice where this unclear wave was going, he had no idea where it came from. It is clear that this is a sensitivity unique to warriors. Unlike Qi Moyan, who was in a daze, even Zhou Tong and Qin Sheng, who was also in the army and had only practiced the superficial mental method of Pei Yuan and Gu Ji in the army, could clearly feel it. This kind of Qi circulation is unique to Qi refining warriors.

Clear and clear, like a spring breeze. The source clearly came from the account. However, Zhou Tong was not surprised by Qin Sheng's little-known expression. Qianniu Wei, who was now appointed deputy general following Wang Jiang and was also the leader of a team in the palace, said: "What do you feel? This is us. The princess has learned the mysterious mental method of the Taishan sect since she was in elementary school. Princess He was weak and sick, so she strengthened her body by practicing this mental method, and her meridians can function and protect herself even when she is resting. Why, I have never heard of the Taishan sect that can be used while sleeping. Is there any Taishan Taoist mental method that can be practiced?" Qin Sheng was at a loss.

After all, he was just a captain, so he naturally knew very little about those Jianghu sects and their strange methods.

Being gently surrounded by such warm air seems to be extremely comfortable. The physical and mental fatigue of the past few days seems to be swept away in an instant, which is very comfortable.

If it hadn't been for this fate, this little captain, who would never have seen this rich man in his life, didn't understand so many complicated rules in the palace, so he leaned against the military tent again without any thought, which made him angry. Next to him, Zhou Tong's gaze was slightly sharp.

The distinction between superiority and inferiority has long been ingrained in the hearts of these Qianniu Guards who have been guarding the palace for many years. Keeping the appropriate distance is also the most important rule they should pay attention to when serving their master.

But the next moment, Zhou Tong, who was extremely alert, discovered changes in his surroundings that were absolutely beyond the scope of cognition, leaving the accompanying deputy general dumbfounded and speechless.

For more than ten feet around the military tent, the newly emerged grass on the ground turned green. Under the trees facing the sun, under the light of torches, you could clearly see insects breaking through the ground and scurrying away. The old willow sprouting on one side slowly bloomed green. Just this After a few breaths, the surrounding land soaked by rain slowly dried out, visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Tong stooped down to observe in a very strange way. The green grass on this area of ​​land also began to ripple layer by layer with the increasingly obvious flow of Qi. The layers of hair in other places were not very clear.

The scene here naturally attracted the attention of other Wu Hammer warriors around. Qianniu Wei, who had been quietly taking care of the princess these days, said: "In the past few days, Princess He also had such a situation when she was resting. As long as Princess He falls asleep, I will It's very strange that I don't feel sleepy even after staying up all night." Several soldiers who had been secretly cooperating with Wang He in concealing the secrets of his little general in the past few days also agreed. They were very impressed with Princess He's strange ability. Everyone was amazed and chirped for a while.

Apparently awakened by the noise, Her Royal Highness the Princess opened her eyes impatiently, but before she could speak, she sat up suddenly in the middle of the night, as if she had had a nightmare and was out of breath, or like a drowning person. After being rescued, she took in big gulps of air and looked like a dying old man. Princess Jianhe fell to the ground in shock.

Zhou Tong, who was the closest, had already taken the lead to take a step forward and leaned into the military tent. The small tent suddenly seemed crowded.

In the middle of the night, his face was extremely rosy, as if he had taken a hot bath, and his body was dripping with sweat. The dirty clothes he wore just now looked even more filthy and sloppy because of the crazy tossing he had just done.

The bloodshot and bloodshot eyes instantly stared at the man and woman who were only three or four feet away. The eyes that were like two sharp blades made the loyal Qianniu Guard ignore the difference between superiority and inferiority and hugged him. The princess quickly stepped out of the tent, her long sword unsheathed and ready to go.

He had seen someone acting crazy in the street at midnight, and it took a lot of effort to restrain his general and the famous disciple from the martial arts world. He didn't believe in himself, even with the life-saving black hammer behind him. The soldiers can work together to subdue him.

But a hoarse question came out,

"Where's my sister?" Princess Wang He, who was already frightened by the weirdness in the middle of the night, was almost crying.

"Brother San Geng, are you okay?"

"Where's my sister!" This violent shout was not as gentle as the Qi that just emitted from Wang He's body. It hit the bottom of his heart like a heavy hammer, causing Zhou Tong to exhale a big breath and bite. Biting the tip of his tongue to steady his mind.

After all, it was Wang He who could feel the discomfort in his childhood playmate's expression. He pointed tremblingly at the villa over there where the shouts of killing had subsided, and said hesitantly: "Second sister is...in the villa, and the emperor brother is..." But before she could finish her words, Ye San staggered up, but her center of gravity was unsteady and she sat back on the ground. The sudden dizziness made her feel angry, but she found that it was as tiny as a gossamer and could not swim normally at all.

It was as if all his strength had been exhausted by this single movement. His throat felt like a bellows in the middle of the night, and he was breathing unevenly.

"Get out of the way." No one stopped him, but he was still warning the black hammer warriors with their swords out of their sheaths outside the tent.

But no one moved. It was just to prevent the third son of the Ye family, who had long been famous and had committed two major crimes of beheading in Beijing, from threatening the princess.

Ye Sangen paid no attention to it anymore, and let the gossamer-like breath from his body pour into his fingers, and tap several large acupuncture points that control life and death from the lower abdomen to the fontanelle, and there was no sound from the world.

"Princess He, tell Jiang Yi of Mingdaofeng that you must protect my sister Zhou Quan." The mutation happened again, and voices suddenly appeared in the woods. A group of men in black appeared with swords in hand. There were sounds of slashing and killing without any warning. For a moment, there was no sound. The unsuspecting Phoenix City guards were caught off guard, and in just the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of them were cut down by these men in black who suddenly appeared.

Ignoring it, I closed my eyes in the middle of the night. In an instant, the wind and clouds were turbulent, and the waves and strong winds that did not belong to this world began to blow for a while, and there was no sound again, just like the calm before the storm in summer, everything was silent.

Then the energy around them contracted suddenly and rapidly, pulling the tent a little tilted. The gurgling air flowed from all directions towards the night watch, dragging the three people on the side to stagger.

"I would like to take this brief moment of clarity to express my gratitude to Princess Guohe for your kindness just now." In the middle of the night, he put his hands on the ground, his expression was painful, all the redness on his face had receded, and he was replaced by a sickly pale color, and his voice was hoarse as if he had been in the sand for a long time without water dripping from the sea. Enter, showing a hint of weakness.

The airflow around him suddenly stopped and suddenly exploded, even the strong military tents that were tied up were blown away. When you get up in the middle of the night, how can you still be weak?

But when he raised his hand, the aura of awe filled the sky and the earth, making people raise their heads and horses neighing, and the lush forests rustle. The long knives and short knives were singing in harmony, and there was a buzzing sound.

"With the name of the sword, my life is crowned with it. The cold and heat of spring and autumn are soaked by the rain. I just hope that I can nourish my body and mind today."

"In the name of the ancestors of the Ming Dao Tomb, please ask for the knife!" Under the gray moonlight, a cold light cut through the sky, seeming to open a hole, which was breathtaking.

The five-foot sword was leaning on the ground, and a bloodthirsty blush appeared in his eyes in the middle of the night. The rain poured down instantly like a dump.
